We train our internal recruiting team to find the best candidate regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, presentation, religion, physical/mental disability, or age. We develop our job descriptions with neutral language to ensure that we attract all types of candidates. We aim to hire the most qualified candidate for the job.
